              Intro: C Cmaj7 F6 G 
 
Verse 
 
C           Cmaj7        F6 
Lately I can tell 
                   G 
You getting pretty sick of me 
   C            Cmaj7    F6   
To tell you the truth, 
                  G 
I've had about enough of me too 
          Am           E/G# 
All this cursing and fighting 
      Edim/G           D/F# 
Who's wrong and who's right and 
F 
It don't mean a thing 
Gsus4                 G 
It don't mean a damn thing 
 
 
            C                  E7/B 
'Cause the grass ain't always greener 
      F                     Gsus4 G 
Just like we're always told 
     C                E7/B 
You may not have the winning hand 
     F                    Gsus4 G 
But you ain't got to fold 
        Am                   E/G# 
And it just seems that much warmer 
         Dm/F             D/F# 
When you come in from the cold 
         C                  G 
'Cause things ain't always better 
          C       G Gaug 
Up the road 
 
Verse 
 
People they'll be talking, 
Rest assured they always do 
They got it all sussed out 
Everything that we go through 
Let's give them all the finger 
Tell them where they can go 
What do they know 
What in the hell do they know 
 
 
'Cause the grass ain't always greener 
Just like we're always told 
You may not have the winning hand 
But you ain't got to fold 
And it just seems that much warmer 
When you com in from the cold 
'Cause things ain't always better 
Up the road 
 
 
 
Bridge 
 
D#                  F              C

Things ain't always better up the road

Yeah

Chorus 
'Cause the grass ain't always greener 
Just like we're always told 
You may not have the winning hand 
But you ain't got to fold 
And it just seems that much warmer 
When you com in from the cold 
'Cause things ain't always better 
Up the road
